B40 clutch cable routing

[berniej]

This may become more obvious when I source a chain guard but - do you route the clutch cable over the upper chain - and guard - and then down and under the casing or between the upper and lower chain with it clipped to the frame or rear chaincase bolt to make sure it doesn't chafe against the lower chain? The latter seems to be the option with fewer bends.

Thanks,
Bernie

Hello Bernie,

I guess your B40 is a different model from mine (see pic's.)

Further to my previous post, I don't know if mine takes the correct route.   Phil.

Hi Phil,
I didn't realise there were variations in the clutch operation - on mine the cable enters a hole in the rear of the casing and the lever runs straight across the top of the rod - so runs lower than yours - I must consult the RR book!

Cheers,
Bernie

Mine is the distributor model which may be the difference....
